N,N'-Bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine H4 SALEN

Description:
N,N'-Bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine, commonly referred to as H4 SALEN, is a bidentate ligand characterized by its ability to chelate metal ions through its two nitrogen atoms and two phenolic hydroxyl groups. This compound features a symmetrical structure with two 2-hydroxybenzyl groups attached to an ethylenediamine backbone, which enhances its coordination properties. H4 SALEN is known for its role in catalysis, particularly in asymmetric synthesis and oxidation reactions, due to its ability to stabilize metal centers and facilitate electron transfer. The presence of hydroxyl groups contributes to its solubility in polar solvents and its potential for hydrogen bonding, which can influence its reactivity and interaction with substrates. Additionally, the compound exhibits interesting optical properties, making it useful in various applications, including sensors and materials science. Its versatility and effectiveness in coordination chemistry make H4 SALEN a valuable compound in both academic research and industrial applications.
